Yes, you can - but ensure that the author died 100 years ago; i.e. before 1907. Alternatively, it looks to have been published by the Navy, so you can select that license. If you want to be sure, look around for similar images, and see what they use. --Haemo 02:17, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

File source problem with File:USSPortsmouth(1896).jpg
Thank you for uploading File:USSPortsmouth(1896).jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 23:44, 23 April 2011 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Magog the Ogre (talk) 23:44, 23 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your clarification, but you didn't create this work, as you were surely not alive in 1896. Can you give a more specific source? Magog the Ogre (talk) 01:14, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
